Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

TonyHallo

150cc
Cut out the former for the cowl and glassed it in with epoxy and 6 oz. bias cut cloth. Boy how things have changed, the plans show the former being 1/2" thick with a 3/4" firewall behind it. The former used was 3/32" thick. The cowl shape was quite a bit different from the former on the plans, it was sitting on the shelf for 2 or 3 years, maybe gravity got to it. it is pushed into shape now.

Haven't decided how the cowl will be held on yet.

I always wanted one since seeing it on the cover of RCM in 1991. I like odd stuff, off the beaten path. When you go to a fly in, there is a very good chance you will see a cub, heck two years ago we had 6 Cubs in the air at one time during our Summer Solstice fly in. There were no Champs to be found however, I want to change that. I don't expect the Champ will be ready for June 26.

I'm finding thoughts of my next build to be primarily civilian aircraft. Tony, you are mostly civilian aircraft builder?

Yes that's all I do, civilian. Cherokee 140, Balsa USA Super Cub, Bob Godfrey One Design, Frank Knoll One Design, Frank Knoll 37% Christan Eagle, Cessna Float Plane, Byron Glasair. Planes on deck, Great Planes Piper Tomahawk, Sig Mossey Bravo, S3 Decathlon (Another Oldie). As you can see I like the old stuff.
